Christmas has long been Mary's favourite time of year, as Johnathan rightly knew when he proposed on Christmas morning. Additionally, there is a bit of a tradition regarding getting married around Boxing Day in the families: Peter and Judith Hay married on Boxing Day, just as both of their respective parents did. As such, it felt right to get married during The Most Wonderful Time of the Year™!
Our dress code is formal / cocktail. We invite you to dress up with us: suits and gowns are welcome, as are stylish cocktail dresses or suit separates.

We would love to accommodate everyone, but due to space and venue limitations, we're unfortunately unable to extend plus-ones. We hope you can still make it to celebrate with us.

The ceremony begins promptly at 2:00 PM, and doors open at 1:00 PM. We recommend arriving by 1:30PM so you have plenty of time to find a seat and get settled.
Driving is the most convenient way to reach the venue, and there is ample free parking on-site. If you plan to celebrate with a few drinks, we recommend arranging a carpool with a designated driver or booking a taxi service in advance: local companies recommended by the venue include City Cabs and Foyle Taxi.
Our wedding is hosted indoors, but there is a short, fully paved walk outdoors between the ceremony and reception areas (no need to worry about your heels in the grass!). To keep everyone comfortable in the winter air, we’ll be providing blankets throughout the venue - although bringing a warm coat is still a great idea, as it will be December in Northern Ireland!
Yes, we do: you can easily access our registry directly through our website. Just head to the top navigation bar and click the link.
We are thrilled to include our own dogs, Daisy and Brian, in our big day! However, we kindly ask that you leave your dogs at home. Thank you for understanding.
See you
soon!
